Abhyanga Massage
This Ayurvedic treatment is done regularly before your bath or shower in the morning. I love doing this treatment after exfoliating with gloves or you can find a natural bristle exfoliator.
This treatment helps ground and calm the mind and body. A great start to the day!
Abhyanga provides the means for trans-dermal absorption of the healing qualities of the material used in the massage, and it helps the skin, which is the largest organ in the body, perform its diverse functions efficiently, whether it is allowing toxins to be released from the body or nourishment to be absorbed by the tissues. It is like oiling the engine of your car -- if you do it regularly, your engine will be in peak condition, and give you years and years of trouble-free performance.
Begin at you feet and work your way up the legs then the abdomen. Start at your hands and work your way up the shoulder and finish at the back. Make sure you use circular motions on the joints and long strokes on the limbs. This can be done quickly to invigorate and wake you up in the morning. It's like giving yourself a hug!
I like to blend my own essences for treating the body for different seasons!
Have a great day!
